Ya I've got to think that the people lining up to buy these bonds are either zealots ideologically in agreement with Bettman, ie other owners, or they are more shady associates of his like "Boots".

Never would have imagined this would drag on into the last weeks of the season. It is going to be an absolute nightmare down there if they make the playoffs and are playing in front of 12 or 13K a night. I guess at least the Flames owners and everybody else will make some of their money back!
